SECRETS 22-The Possibility

Happy Reading!

It had been nearly 45 minutes since Fitz first got on the phone with Tom. Fitz and Liv both were on their phones. Fitz after calling the family doctor was now back on the phone with Tom. Liv of course was on the phone with her entire team. Liv wanted to know Charles's every move up until he arrived at Abby's hotel. She had Huck to keep track of him and where he went after leaving the hotel. Jay was responsible to check into his finances and personal affairs. Who he talked to, who he visited and why, and Harrison was to dig into everyone's life that he associated with, and what was their connection to one another? She told them to meet at her home tomorrow at nine before hanging up.

Fitz finally hung up as he made his way to the garage. He instructed Tom to park inside. He quickly assisted Tom with Abby and instructed the two men to stay inside the truck after pulling it out of the garage. Abby was taken to on of the guest bedrooms as Liv stood by in shock when a sudden stream of tears fell from her eyes. "Abby." She chokes out softly as she slowly made her way next to the bed.

She bends down next to Abby "Oh Abby what did he do to you? I'm so sorry Ab's. I will make him pay. I promise you he will pay."

The doorbell sounds and Fitz goes to see who it was. He returns with the family doctor and step out of the room to speak privately with Tom. Leaving Olivia with him and Abby after explaining to him how she came to be in this state. He also expressed the importance of privacy in the matter, reminding him sign an NDA in place for his family before exiting the room.

The doctor check Abby over. Just as he was completing his exam Abby began to stir. He eyes slowly fluttered open as she moaned reaching for her head. "Mm wh… where am I." Attempting to look out of her one good eye because the right one was swollen shut

Liv quickly leans into her line of vision "Abby you're at my home."

Abby squints and try to focus She knows that voice. "Liv?"

"Yes, Abby just relax, you're safe now. This is Fitz private doctor. He's checking you over. Can you tell me what happened?" But before she could answer the doctor speaks up. "Ma'am you were attacked and apparently knocked unconscious. You have some bruises and a busted lip but no broken bones or internal bleeding that I can see. You'll be in pain for a couple of days, but you should be fine. If your pain doesn't get better within a couple of days. You should probably go to the hospital for a better look. I can leave some pain medication. If the pain becomes unbearable, I think you should go get checked out."

The doctor leaves after speaking with Fitz giving him the same instructions, he just gave Abby and Liv. Fitz thanks him and returns to the guest room. "Hey Abby. How are you feeling?"

"Hey Fitz, I feel like shit, but I'll heal. Can you give me and Liv a minute?" Fitz nods and walks out of the room and goes to check on the twins

Abby is the first to speak "Liv I want to say I'm sorry."

"No Abby I'm sorry. I should have never pushed you away. Hopefully the baby is okay. The doctor said he didn't see any signs of a miscarriage."

"No Liv listen; You have nothing to be sorry about. I violated our friendship. I caused this. I blamed you for everything bad that happened in my life to afraid to look in the mirror. I'm not pregnant Liv." She pauses "Not anymore. I had an abortion. I was too afraid of that Charles would find out. He would have killed mem and my baby had he known." I had to. I couldn't keep the baby even if I wanted to. She adds silently to herself. For some reason she still felt pregnant. She couldn't explain it, but once she woke up at the clinic, she had no pain, no bleeding, no nothing except slight wetness. She was given paperwork telling her to rest and stay hydrated…oh and no sex for at least 2 weeks.

3 weeks ago…

As Abby sat in the cold dark room waiting for the doctor other things were happening in the clinic. Shortly after Abby was taken back several well-dressed men came inside the clinic. Two stood by the door and three went up to the reception desk after assuring the clinic was empty of clients. One of the men spoke up saying "We need to see the doctor."

The receptionist looked up at the man "Do you have an appointment?" Tossing a stake of bills on her desk after the two men flagging him opened their suit jackets reveling their guns the man answered "I do know. So just buzz me in and things will remain peaceful." The receptionist eyes bulged as her heart rate picked up. With shaky hands she hits the button that released the locked entryway. The men made their way inside. Two of the men took up position in front of the team of 4 employees as they stared at the guns now in the men hands. "Just remain seated and we'll be out of your way in no time." No one moved

The third man continued walking stopping to check the chart outside of one of the rooms which read Abby Whelan. He looks over the chart and walks down the hall until he approaches the doctor's office labeled with his name. He enters.

The doctor looks up with a puzzled expression. "Excuse me who are you and why are you in my office?"

Jay looks at the man tossing the file on his desk. "I'm glad you asked. I have several men visiting with you employees so you and I can talk alone. This patient in one of your rooms can't have this abortion. You will do whatever you have to do to assure she doesn't. Lie to her, fake the procedure, I really don't care but you are not to abort her baby."

The doctor is about to rebuff Jay but stops after seeing the gun on Jay's side as he places his hands inside of his pants pockets. "I…I don't think I can do that sir." Remembering Ms. Whelan was the only patient he had at this time

Jay reaches inside of his jacket pocket and pulls out two envelopes "You have two choices, but either way you will do as I ask." He tosses the envelopes on the desk. One housed 50 grand and the other pictures of the doctor doing something very inappropriate with what looks to be several of his unconscious patients.

The doctor chose the envelope with money. Abby would be put to sleep, but the abortion would not be performed. Jay would explain to the staff that their boss was a rapist and pedophile before all receiving a stake of cash to walk away from this job and not mention what they saw today. They gladly agreed. Abby was none the wiser once she was awakened and allowed to leave. Two days later the doctor would be found dead in his driveway…cause of death…a heart attack after video of his wrongdoing made national news and his estate was sued by the victim's and their families.

Jay was a man of many secrets. Secrets even Olivia didn't know about.

Present….

"Did you… want to?" Liv hesitantly asks

Abby looks away from Liv "A part of me did. Stephen wanted me to keep it. But I had already had the abortion. It was like the moment you fired me, Charles start leaving little indicators that he was around as if he knew, I no longer worked for you. It scared me shitless. I left Stephen hoping to keep him safe; scared that Charles would find out about us and the baby. As I said I'm sorry I expected you to make my life better, and you did. I just didn't appreciate all you had done. I wanted more. I wanted your life. I wanted to be you." She chuckles "There's only one you. Only one Olivia Pope. I understand that now. I just want to say thank you. Thank you for everything and for saving my life once again."

Liv takes Abby hand into hers "What do you need?"

Abby looks at her with her one good eye shaking her head "Liv no. Charles will get his."

"Abby, what do you need?"

"I need you to forgive me."

"Done. Anything else?"

Abby looks down twiddling her fingers, when she whispers "Get rid of Charles." She looks up "He scares me to no end Liv. He wanted me to get into your system and find out what you have on him. He's after you Liv. He wants to take you down."

"Abby, listen to me, no one takes Olivia Pope…Olivia Pope takes them." Abby reaches out and hugs Olivia and Liv hugs her. "Can I get you anything?" Liv asks after releasing the hug

"Some water and I could use a bath."

"Consider it handled. I'll be right back."

After Fitz check on his children, he returns to the living area to speak with Tom when his wife walks into the room. She gives Fitz a look and a slight nod and continues to the kitchen before retrieving a bottled water and returning to Abby.

Fitz turns to Tom "Thank you Tom, it looks like Abby will be staying here with us until we figure some things out. Keep you eyes on that guy. I may need you to bring in a security team, but I'll let you know after I talk to Liv." Tom shakes his hand before leaving

Little did Fitz know Tom's had other plans for Charles if he even looked in Fitz direction. It would be the last time he ever saw the light of day and he would be added to the secrets that Tom carried that were not just buried in his memory but in their graves.

….

Huck wasted no time collecting information on Charles. Now that Abby was safe, he could figure out what he's been up to. Why was in contacting a lawyer and why did that lawyer visit Maxwell King at Rikers? Tomorrow when the team meets with Olivia they would have plenty to share with her.

….

The two retired to their bedroom after getting Abby and the twins settled in for the night. The following morning Liv woke to the feeling of her husband little big head poking her in the back. She stretches as Fitz tuns onto his back running his hand over his hardened cock. Liv watches to see if he will wake up. He doesn't but the site of his stiffened cock not only is awake but awakening a desire to take him into her mouth. She sits up and leans down over her husband pulling down the waistband of his pajama bottoms to release him and is greeted with his strong dick bouncing up and down. She takes it into her hand and slowly runs her tongue over the head, causing her husband to moan in his sleep. She smiles before sucking his entire length like a popsicle up and down slurping along the way as she salivates from her built up desire.

This motion caused Fitz to jerk his hips at the feeling. The warmth of her mouth awakens him as she takes him in. "Ohhhh Livvie, yes baby good morning to you too love."

"Mmm." She moans in responds as her husband plants both his large against her head. Gripping her hair between his fingers guiding her as he begins to stroke her mouth hitting the back of her throat. He missed making love to his wife, but she made sure he never got blue balls. "Fuck yes Livvie, just like that baby." He states as Liv creates a suction vacuum with her mouth

Fitz is still feeling like he's dreaming because his wife sucking his dick feels so good. Liv continues to moan and suck her husband, making love to his cock until he explodes in her mouth. She takes her time to swallow as much of his hot seed as she can before releasing him. Fitz is still stretched out with curled toes holding tightly to Liv's hair as he comes. "Holy fuck baby, that felt so good."

"Hi." She giggles as she untangles his fingers from her hair.

"Hi." He drags out as Liv loosens his grip "Oh I'm sorry baby, you're just so good at this. Did I pull to hard?"

"No love, just a few tears in my eyes because of your thickness, but I enjoy pleasing you. I'm good at doing what I love and sucking your beautiful dick just happened to be one of those things." She states giving him a wink as she heads for the shower.

"I'm just gonna lay here and catch my breath for a minute." He drags out closing his eyes as he enjoys the high he's on

Liv finishes her shower and finds her husband fast asleep. She walks next to the bed and begins running her fingers throughout his messy curls. "Baby." She softly calls "Time to wake up."

Fitz stirs as the feel of Liv's lips connect with his. "Five more minutes baby." He pulls her on top of him and kisses her again

She wiggles out of his arms with a smile "Okay mister, I going to check on the twins and Abby, then start breakfast before the team arrives."

"Mkay baby, I'll be down in a minute."

Liv chuckles to herself as she makes her way to the twin's room.

….

Meanwhile…

Max is feeling good. He remanence about his visit from Cyrus Beene. He thought he was done for, but Cyrus made him believe he had a chance of getting out or at least getting some of the charges dropped and his sentence reduce, possibly even a trial this time around. His case was fast track, and he was convicted. He reached out to Angela and informed her of the good news. She was excited because she had news of her own that she had been keeping a secret from him. Something that caught her by surprise as well. Her man was possibly coming home was a good thing but could also be a bad thing because once he found out her secret it could cause problems with them moving forward. Her secret really wasn't a secret but she's sure he didn't believe her the first time she told him. She didn't believe it herself because she had no knowledge of how true her lie would become her reality.

Hearing Max say he may be coming home soon, and his case may be thrown out or reduced gave her great concern. It would bring Olivia back into her circle because she was certain Max would not let go of the fact her baby could possibly be his child. He won't truly let it go until he had proof. She debated on whether or not to warn Olivia of this. Olivia gave her a second chance to give her child a good life, even though that child was her now ex-husbands conceived while they were still married. Thoughts of warning Olivia came to, but she needed to think about things a bit more. She would wait to see how things go with Max before deciding.

Back at the Grant house…

Two hours later the babies are bathe and Abby is resting. The team have all gathered in the den of the home all taking turns admiring the twins. "Okay who wants to start?" Liv gestures with her hands

Jay takes the lead "Ya boy Charlie has some big wigs in his pockets. No suspicious spending but I'll keep digging."

"He's also been meeting with Cyrus Beene Law firm; not sure why though." Harrison adds

"I checked into this Beene guy. It seems that after meeting with Charlie he paid a visit to Riker's to see none other than Maxwell King. I'm not sure what the meeting was about but I have reached out to some of the guards to see what's being said on the pods." Huck continues "We'll know soon."

Jay jumps back in "If Charles is meeting with a lawyer and the lawyer is meeting with Max, they're coming for you guys. Something is up."

Tom finally adds his thoughts "Cyrus has been trying to beat you for a long time. He may see this as his chance."

"Wait… you both know this Cyrus guy?" Liv questions with furrowed brow

"Yes love. He's my nemesis. I've beat him in court every case."

Jay chuckles "We'll he's certainly barking up the wrong tree coming for Liv. His license will not be the only thing he loses if he values his life."

Liv gives Jay a stern look "What Liv? Don't look at me like that, you already know everyone in this room will kill for you if needed."

Liv stands from her seated position "Nobody is killing anybody. Let's just keep our boots to the ground and find out what these three are up to, then we'll counter whatever they bring our way."

"I'll find out what Cyrus is up to and what's going on with Max. You all just keep a close eye on Charles movements and communications. Tom what's going on with that security team?" Fitz closes out the discussion

"They're ready to start today if you'd like."

"I want to meet them first. My wife has to be comfortable with them as well. Set that up and let me know when."

Everyone begins packing up. Liv pulls Jay to the side. "Hey, is everything okay with you, you seem different?"

Jay looks at her intensely "Different how?"

Liv hunches "I don't know, just different. Like you're not all here, I guess. Did something happen is there something you're not telling me?"

"No sis. I'm fine. I'm just feeling a little uneasy about this Putney guy, along with Abby, Stephen, and now we have this Cyrus dude, along with Max ass again. I worry about you Liv, and I was serious, I will kill anyone that tries to bring harm to you."

She slides her arm around his "I know you worry but I have Fitz here with me now. I'll be fine. You, Fitz, Harry, Huck, and eve Tom. I think I have more than enough protection from Max and anyone else. I get it. Hopefully you won't have to resort to killing anyone. I need you around. The twins need you around. Please don't kill anybody."

"Let's hope I don't have to." He stated kissing Liv on the cheek "How's Abby?"

"She's a bit bruised, but she'll be fine after some much-needed rest."

"And the baby?"

"I'll let her tell you in her time."

"Tell me what? Did she lose it? Tell me what?"

"Jay it's not my place. If you want you can go in and talk to her, but she was sleeping last time I checked." He does just that. He needed to know if the baby was okay. He went through a lot to make sure she didn't get the abortion. She may not know she's still pregnant, but she will soon. Stephan will come back if he knew Abby didn't kill his baby, but first he needed to be sure.

He walks into the guest room after knocking softly on the door. "Abs, hey it's me Jay."

Abby slowly looks up trying to blink away her sleep "Hey Jay." She drags out

He walks up to her "How are you feeling, is the baby okay."

"Everything's fine Jay." Is the answer she gives not wanting to talk about the abortion she thinks she had

"Okay. I just had to check on you for myself. I'll be back to check on you in a few days when you're up and about."

"Okay Jay thanks." She closes her eyes and goes back to sleep

Jay satisfied heads out

…

Later that evening Fitz and Liv meets with the security team of both men and women that will be taking shifts to secure the property. Liv was satisfied which made Fitz happy. He thought she would put up a fight, but she didn't. Secretly Liv was terrified inside. She was a mom now. Her priorities had changed. She had a caring husband and two beautiful children to be concerned about. It was no longer just about her. She couldn't take any chances with the types of clients she served. Many left a friend others became a foe. She needed to be more careful about how she did her job and not make enemies unnecessarily. She was of course a mom now, and a wife of a loving caring and very handsome man unlike her ex-husband.

Once the security meeting was over Liv was preparing dinner when Abby slowly made her way into the kitchen. Liv turns and sees her. "Abby you shouldn't be out of bed."

"Liv I'm tired of being coop up in that room. I need to start getting back to myself."

"Are you hurting, you don't feel dizzy, do you?"

"A little but I want to sit out here. What are you cooking? It smells good in here."

Liv comes to Abby side and help her to sit at the counter. "Here, let me help you. I'm making some backed salmon with steamed veggies. Just something simple."

"Well, it smells good. I'm really hungry."

"Dinner will be ready soon." Walking back over to the fridge "So are you ready to tell me what happened?"

Abby lets out a breath "Where's Fitz?"

"He took the twins to see his mom."

"Oh." She pauses as she looks at Liv waiting for her to continue "Charles found me. As I told you he wanted me to find out what you had on him. He said I'll never get away from him. I believed him."

"How did you end of unconscious Abby?" Liv asked a bit of irritation in her voice

"He wanted to have sex with me…I said no…he beat me and then choked me while having sex with me before making me myself up before threatening me about getting the information he wants from your files. I tried to explain to him that I no longer worked there. He didn't like the answer and well the rest I don't remember after seeing his fist coming towards my face, cause everything went black after that." Abby states hunching her shoulders.

"How did he get into your hotel room? Did…"

"No Liv don't do that! Don't you dare question my reasons until when you haven't walked in my shoes. You have no idea what it's like to live in fear. Fear you will say the wrong thing, or…or speak at the wrong time, or just fear of breathing wrong. You don't know Liv what that feels like. So don't look at me with dead eyes and judge me." She begins to cry "He had another key alright. I don't know how he got it. He just fucking showed up. If I ran, he would have found me and probably killed me. Don't you get that?!"

Liv rushes to Abby's side "Abby I'm sorry I didn't mean…" She pulls her in a hug "I'm sorry. I will take care of Charles. I promise you; you'll never have to worry about him ever again." Suddenly Abby begins to feel nauseated "I feel nauseous. I think I'm gonna throw up." Liv swiftly retreats and grabs the trash from beneath the counter just in time as Abby begins to dry heave before expelling stomach acids from within. Liv holds her hair until the nausea passes.

She quickly retrieves a wet washcloth wiping Abby's now flush face. Abby takes the washcloth, pressing it against her forehead and the back of her neck. "Abby, you had the abortion about a month ago do you think you might be pregnant again by Charles." The though suddenly hit her of the possibility

Until next time…Keke
